I think there's an excuse for hampers - they are intended as a long term way of saving for Christmas, so you have to start early...

Anyway, what do you mean early, it's less than 6 months away now, you know.

What's your problem?

I've already bought and wrapped some Xmas presents.

I start paying for my hampers/vouchers in January

Me too - The January sales are fabulous

I don't mind thinking/planning ahead, as an adult with a family/children to buy for i'm all for it - I bought #3's birthday present (he's in May) last October, I buy a 'gift' a week, nothing expensive just the odd bits that can be put into a pretty bag to give to workmates/children in my class etc.
But what annoys me is, the ad was on a kids channel.
So of course now my kids are thinking Christmas, an hour ago they were planning their summer, which campsite to go to, & now they're talking toys!!

Sprouts are the Kings of vegetables and Parsnips their Queens.

Don't me mean to sprouts. They're cauliflowers in training.

Aren't they an all year round phenomenon like Cadbury's creme eggs?

I hate sprouts

Steam them so that they aren't like sludge - I hate mushy sprouts, there's no need for them!
